ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — J.P. Losman will start at quarterback for the Buffalo Bills against San Diego after Kelly Holcomb missed his third straight practice since getting a concussion.Coach Mike Mularkey said Friday he expected Holcomb to be medically cleared for the game Sunday, but wasn't sure if he would serve as Losman's backup or be the No. 3 quarterback.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Annika Sorenstam made two eagles on her way to a 2-under 70 Friday for a two-shot lead over Hee-Won Han at the season-ending ADT Championship.First came a 7-wood on the par-5 fifth hole, from 194 yards to a front pin that stopped 10 feet away. On the par-5 ninth, Sorenstam hammered another drive and had 217 yards to the hole. She again hit 7-wood with a gentle breeze at her back, and it stopped 12 feet from the hole.Those eagles offset two bogeys — a poor tee shot on the opening hole, a pedestrian chip on the par-3 seventh — and she avoided trouble that so many others faced to finish at 5-under 139.
